São Paulo,
Brazil – (August 16, 2024) – Sigma Lithium Corporation NASDAQ: SGML, BVMF: S2GM34, TSXV: SGML), a leading global
lithium producer dedicated to powering the next generation of electric vehicles with carbon neutral, socially and environmentally sustainable
Quintuple Zero High Purity Lithium Concentrate (“5.0 Green Lithium”), today announced its results for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2024. The Quarterly Filings and accompanying Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) will be
available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca), EDGAR (www.sec.gov) and the Company’s corporate website.
Ana Cabral, Co-Chairperson
and CEO said: “We are extremely pleased to present Sigma’s robust financial results. This quarter, we achieved operational
excellence on key fronts: Continuing to deliver the sales volume cadence of a seasoned producer, maintaining premiumization of our 5.0
Green Lithium while further diversifying our commercial relationships by selling to new geographies such as Japan and South Korea. We
focused on increasing our robust cash margins, maintaining our draconian cost discipline culture, leading Sigma to achieve our 2024 cash
cost guidance this quarter, ahead of schedule.
“Operationally,
the Company has invested in improving the throughput and recovery at our Greentech plant, which will bear fruit in the third quarter
further increasing the efficiency of the operations. As a result, we are forecasting our 3Q sales to reach 60,000t, which will bring
the extra benefit of a further decrease of our unit costs”, Ana concluded.
Operational
Update
Sigma Lithium is
pleased to celebrate its first full year of shipments at Grota do Cirilo, achieving the operational excellence of a seasoned lithium
producer: Reaching regular cadence of 22,000t shipments, delivering the second highest operational employee safety index globally (achieving
the high standards equivalent to the second place at ICMM rankings (International Council of Metals and Mining), while maintaining
high cash margins of 54% (FOB Brazil), equal to larger peer companies.
During 2Q, Sigma
Lithium sold 52,572t of its 5.0 Green Lithium. The Company made two full shipments during the quarter, with an additional sale FOB Brazil
Port totalling 17,270 tonnes at the end of 2Q’24. The Company continued a strategy initiated in the 1Q 24, when it delivered 8,700
tonnes (ultimately shipped in April 24) in a similar FOB Brazil Port sale agreement.
Looking forward,
the Company has deployed significant operational improvements at the Greentech Plant, which should drive yield and recoveries:
| · | Developed
enhancements to the flowsheet to increase recoveries and operational efficiency, which brings
an additional production boost by allowing reprocessing of previously dry stacked lithium
high quality fines (at 1.5% Li2O). |
| · | Results
of these improvements already reflected in production levels of Jul. 24 and Aug. 24
driving 3Q 24 sales guidance. |
Lithium concentrate
production in the second quarter totaled 49,389t, compared to 54,168t in 1Q24. The change is primarily related to the replacement of
a crusher module which occurred in June. Production has since normalized and continued to increase in July and August. For the third
quarter, the Company expects to produce roughly 60,000 tonnes of 5.0 Green Lithium.
Commercial Update
Establishing a
track record as a reliable supplier to the battery supply chain has enabled the Company to increase its commercial independence. This
has led to a diversification of sales and commercial relationships by engaging with new South Korean and Japanese industrial, trading
and battery manufacturing companies.
During the second
quarter, the Company internalized additional logistics and commercial functions, leading to further efficiency and cost savings of approximately
$20/t per shipment. The improved commercial capabilities allowed Sigma to capture stronger market opportunities as they arose during
the quarter.
Pricing mechanisms
were also quite varied in 2Q, as Sigma deployed fixed price, fixed floating ratios and provisional price models in its negotiations.
Going forward, the Company will continue to remain flexible with its commercial strategy to maximize the value for its premium product.

Revenues in the
second quarter totaled USD $46 million, implying a realized CIF equivalent sales price(2) of $894/t. Provisional price
adjustments continued to impact results although at much lower levels than in 4Q23 and 1Q24. The Company notes that the average CIF equivalent
price for product shipped during 2Q (1) was $1,056/t.
Sigma Lithium’s
focus on dynamic pricing strategies, combined with a disciplined cost focus, led the Company to achieve the second-highest FOB unit cash
margins amongst lithium producers in the second quarter, at 54%. Year to date, cash unit operating costs have declined by 22%, leading
the Company to achieve its guided cost structure ahead of schedule.
| · | Cash
unit operating costs(3) for lithium concentrate produced at the Company’s
Grota do Cirilo operations in the second quarter averaged USD $364/t. |
| · | On
an FOB Vitoria basis (which includes transportation and port charges) costs averaged USD
$424/t. |
| · | On
a CIF China equivalent basis (includes ocean freight, insurance and royalties) costs averaged
$515/t. |
Sigma Lithium expects
to further decrease its unit costs as it continues to increase the efficiency and recoveries of the Greentech Plant increasing production
volumes and leveraging fixed-costs.
The Company delivered
second quarter cash adjusted EBITDA(4) of $13.3 million (C$18.2 million), reflecting a margin of 29%. Reported EBITDA
for the second quarter totaled $8.6 million (C$11.9 million).
| · | The
cash adjusted EBITDA number excludes $0.7 million (C$1.0 million) of non-recurring expenditures,
primarily related to legal initiatives, nearly $2 million (C$2.7 million) in non-cash, non-operating,
accruals adjustments, and $1.9 million (C$2.6 million) in non-cash stock-based compensation
expenses. |
Net income in the
quarter totaled -$10.8 million (C$14.8 million), or -$0.10 per diluted share outstanding. Headline net income was impacted by $14.6mn
in non-operating currency related adjustments, the vast majority of which were non-cash in nature.
Phase 2 Expansion
Recall, on April 1,
2024, the Board of Directors announced a Final Investment Decision (“FID”) for the Company’s Phase 2 Greentech
Plant expansion. The project is expected to add 250,000 tonnes of production capacity to the current Phase 1 operation. The Company has
begun land clearing and fauna suppression to ready the site for formal earthworks.
Total building
and commissioning are expected to occur over a 12-month period. The total expected capex for the Phase 2 construction is $100 million
(C$136 million), and the Company has already secured all relevant environmental licenses to build and operate its second Greentech Plant.
Land Suppression
and Clearing for Phase 2 operations at Grota do Cirilo.
Balance Sheet &
Liquidity
Sigma Lithium ended
the second quarter with $75.3 million (C$103 million) in cash and cash equivalents. The sequential decline is largely related to the
timing of cash receivables and a reduction in our payables balance. As of the time of filing, the Company’s cash balance had returned
to $99 million. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $219 million (C$300 million) in short-term loans and export prepayment liabilities.
This included $99 million in drawn and available, but unutilized, liquidity through trade finance lines.
Capital expenditures
during the second quarter totaled $8.6 million (C$11.9 million) directed towards maintenance, mining, Phase 2 expansion work, and incremental
investments in the Greentech Plant.
Free cash flow
was a drag as a result of the timing of our receivables (~$45 million), which we received after quarter end, and a decrease in payables
balance.

Reconciliations:
To provide investors
and others with additional information regarding the financial results of Sigma Lithium, we have disclosed in this release certain non-IFRS
operating performance measures such as realized price per tonne, unit operating costs, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted cash EBITDA, and
Adjusted cash EBITDA margin. These non-IFRS financial measures are a supplement to and not a substitute for or superior to, the Company's
results presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measures presented by the Company may be different from non-GAAP/IFRS
financial measures presented by other companies. Specifically, the Company believes the non-IFRS information provides useful measures
to investors regarding the Company's financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that the Company believes are not
indicative of its core operating results. The presentation of these non-U.S. GAAP/IFRS financial measures is not meant to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for results or guidance prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP/IFRS. A reconciliation
of these financial measures to IFRS results is included herein.
1: Average reported
selling price is a CIF equivalent metric with the associated adjustments made to FOB accounted shipments to gross up for the relevant
ocean freight and insurance costs. The associated revenue figure represents revenues associated with shipments made during the reporting
period. The final adjusted price may be higher or lower than the estimated realized price based on future price movements.

price is a reflection of net revenues for the quarter and tonnes shipped. Reported revenues are accounted for on an “as accounted”
basis, and thus reflect FOB and FOB & CIF shipments as was the case for 1Q and 2Q, respectively. These figures have been grossed
up for the associated CIF shipping costs to create a more peer comparable figure. The final adjusted price may be higher or lower than
the estimated realized price based on future price movements.

3: Cash unit
operating costs include mining, processing, and site based general and administration costs. It is calculated on an incurred basis, credits
for any capitalised mine waste development costs, and it excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization of mine and processing associated
activities. When reported on an FOB basis, this metric includes road freight, and port related charges. When reported on a CIF it includes
ocean freight, insurance and royalty costs. For CIF costs, management is making assumptions to right-size its cost of goods sold balances
for the effective ocean freight and insurance payments which were netted against revenues for shipments that were accounted for on an
FOB basis. Royalty costs include a 2% government royalty and a 1% private royalty.
